Late SOFR/Treasury Option Roundup

US TSYS

Overall session volume on SOFR and Treasury options has been relatively muted this week with many desks partially staffed in the lead-up to Easter Sunday. Others sidelined to await the latest employment data for March scheduled on Friday's shortened session. Better Treasury call structures reported overnight into early NY trade followed by slight pick-up in low delta puts in SOFR options as underlying futures through early 2024 traded weaker - implied rate cuts through year end receding. Salient trade:
